HERE are some items from tariff sta

HERE are some items from tariff sta
tisties, which show to what extent the
laborer is protected. The tariff has no
object for being except TO help the poor
laborer and keep him from sinking to
the pauper condition of his cousin IN the
old world. 1t is little strange, though
that the articles he needs should be tax
ed much higher than the luxurles In
which tie wealthy indulge. Here are
the figures placed so that the difference
may be readily perceived:
Altar of roses, free; Castor oil, loo
per cent; Orange flower oil, free; Lin
seed oil, 62 per cent; Diamonds, 10 per
cent; Raw silk, free; Raw wool. 40 per
cent; Jewelry, % per cent; Steel rails,
| s5 per cent; Gold studs, % per cent;
Horse. shoe nails, 116 per cent; Finest
still wines, 20 per cent; Cheapest mixed
WOODEN goods, II per cent; Finest India
shawls, 40 per cent. Common WOODEN
shawls, Sc per cent; Finest broadcioth,
| ii Der cEUL. CAOtbt ~ tSA SSA~N'
Silk stockings, 80 per cent; Common
worsted stockings, 70 per cent, and SO on.
Ii will be noticed the articles which
the rich people purchase are admitted
either free of duty or with low tax
while everything the poor man needs If
taxed high. But this is how American
labor is protected. 1t was because Nor
rison proposed to right this wrong tina
he was defeated by the money of The
wealthy corporations, wholly in the In
terests of the poor laborer. The repub-
licans in congress, assisted by Randall
and his gang, refused to take any actor
toward equalizing this tax. Because
Morrison made the attempt he is brand
ed as an enemy of American labor. Th'
Iaborer will learn who his friends ale II
time, but it may be when his vision i
clarified by putting on the garments o
immortality.

RANDALL has at last sprung into the
arena full fedged tariff reformer. Yes,
he has had his finger on the public pulse
and felt it throb approval of reduction
of the tax on imported articles. And
Mr. Randall has concluded to act agree
ably to public sentiment and to cease
being tool of the monopolists. He will
introduce bill soon providing that goats
hair be received in this country free of
duty. just think of that, ye GROWERS at
high prices. Pretty soon you can buy
goats hair almost for a song. The tax
is TO be taken off it and that family must
be poor indeed which cannot have an
abundance of goats hair. 1t is going to
be stingy cheap and the American goat
will not have his hair protected. He
may still revel, in his butt without fear
of competition from his European neigh
Dor, as the goat himself will not be ad-
mitted free of duty. 1t is only his Iair
Mr.. Randall will let in. 'Rah, for r
dali. 'Rah for the goat. A tiger for the
free hair.

GOVERNOR HILL will be set down as

GOVERNOR HILL will be set down as
demagogue. In his message he speaks
a good word for the laborer, Ia short,
plainly says the laborer has just cause
for complaint. There is truth in this but
Hill will get no credit for honesty. His
declaration will be set down as bid for
the labor vote. Perhaps it is; but there
is some comfort in the reflection that the
laborer has reached that position when
it is recognized he has vote. He will
be played upon by demagogues,-that IS
unavoidable, but his power will make
him be treated with respect. The labor
er has made something by going into

JOHN ROACH, the great ship builder,
died in New York on Tuesday. For the
last year he has been in poor health.
Roach was born in Cork county, Ireland,
and came to this country when boy of
Is. He has known a degree of poverty
which but few experience, but he was
persistent and never yielded to despair
though he met with many reverses. At
one time he was worth s., 600, 000 He
was a champion of subsidies and protec-
tion and no man profitel more from them
than did he. Some hint that his death
was due to the governments refusal TO
accept the Dolphin. But Roach was not
made of that stuff which yields so readi-
ly to reverses.

LYMAN G. DRAPER the corresponding
secretary of the State Agricultural
Society for "a years, lately resigned his
position. Every person who had any
thing to do with the magnificent library
at Madison will remember Mr.. Draper
and his love for the books in his charge.
He had an absorbing interest in every
thing relating to the early history OF
Wisconsin and it is to write up border
recoIlections that he quits his position in
the Historical Rooms. He is man
deserving the highest honor from the
people of the state and years from now
his name will be spoken with reverence.

THE TRADE DOLLAR SCHEME.
The President has opportunity to send
in another needed veto message. This is
furnished by the passage of the bill for the
redemption of trade dollars.
IF this bill becomes law, some specula-
tors who have been pushing it will make
some money. They bought great many
trade dollars for which they did not pay
more than IS cents. They want to sell them
to the government for 100 cents, and thus
make what they would doubtless call
''fair' profit. 1t is claimed by some of those
interested in the scheme that only from
$5,O0O,OOO to 81, ,OOO, 900 will be presented in
the six months to which redemption is linn
tied. But others more disinterested esti-
mate the number of trade dollars that will
be brought in under the bill at more than
$50, ,OO0, 900, the total coinage having been
nearly $50, 600, 900. II &c, ZOO, 900 of the dol

The House amendment to the bill pro-
vides that the trade dollar shall be coined in
to standard silver dollars or subsidiary coin,
and shall not be counted as part of the two
act. The New York Evening Post pointedly
says of this: This feature of the bill is vir-
tually new Bland act, with the difference
that it requires the bullion to be bought at
% per cent. above its market value, and that
it is limited in its operation to the amount
of trade dollars that can be scraped together
within six months. Every argument based
upon the principles of sound finance which
the President SO happily expressed in his let
ter of February, 1885, to General Warner,
and which Secretary Manning has SO often
repeated, applies to the bill. If it would be
a violation of those principles to pass bill
increasing the coinage under the Bland act,
which provides for the purchase of silver at
its market value, it is more fagrant viola
ton of the same principles to pass bill
with that end in view which provides for the
purchase of bullion at premium of % per
cent It may be said that the treasury is
not required to coin this bullion into st.:l.
dard silver dollars, but may convert it into
subsidiary coin. The answer to this is that
the treasury already has a surplus of some
thirty millions of subsidiary coin which it
is carrying as dead capital. To add twenty
millions more, or any other sum, would be as
wasteful as to spend that sum in building old
line of battle ships for the navy.
It is probable that this bill will be vetoed.
There doesn't seem to be any good reason
why it shouldn't be.
